Re: Jewish Music for Yoga classes
Hi: I just saw your post and thank you for the information. Have you had experience with live music in your classes? When I teach I do not have music at all because I hope the inward journey is supported rather than distracted by sound --- but for many this is not so. I am a flutist playing for many Satsangs and Shabbat and other Jewish venues and now developing some programs, so if you have any information to share on this it would be appreciated. Thanks, Eileen Kalamala (my Sanskrit name) Ain |

Re: Jewish Music for Yoga classes
Dear Eileen: I find that at the beginning of class I like to have it silent to help people tune in. Much of the music I use is Indian flute. As I find it lends itself to an inward journey. I use Carlos Nakai a lot. I think its wonderful to have live music - what a great way to go. Many of us don't have that opportunity. My husband is a pianist and I wish he would make an CD for me for my yoga classes. I encourage you to make a CD for Yoga. There is not enough inward, tranquil flute music out there. In Arieh Kaplans book " Bible and Kabbalah" he writes about how the Neviim - prophets would have music played for them to help them get into a prophetic state. Reisha |

Re: Jewish Music for Yoga classes
I personally believe Celtic music has real spirit when it comes to meditation. |

Re: Jewish Music for Yoga classes
Hi all, Another resource that that you might like: a CD called Kiss the Beloved, which is done by Susan Deikman and consists of kirtans done with Hebrew lyrics (mostly from Shir HaShirim). The kirtan style sounds authentic and all in all it's pretty good. Here's the link: http://www.kabbalahkirtan.com/index.html Chag kasher v'sameach Om Shanti, Howie |

Re: Jewish Music for Yoga classes
I went to the http://kabbalahkirtan.com and got the Kiss the Beloved CD - it is absolutely wonderful! We're using some of the ideas in our alternative / beginner's service. It would be great for yoga too, I recommend it. |

Another music suggestion: Holy by Mindy Ribner. She leads a meditation group in New York called Beit Miriam and she was trained by Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach. Here's a link: http://www.beitmiriam.com/downloads.html |

Re: Jewish Music for Chanukah Yoga classes
Sat Nam This is a wonderful discussion and there are many informative links. my question is related specifically to Chanukah music for a Kundalini yoga class i will teach the 3rd night of Chanukah at my yoga studio in pasadena. I am going to broadly make some connections between Kundalini yoga and Chanukah and mostly want some music to set the tone when people come in. I will use Snatam kaur's hEAVEN AND BEYOND FOR A GOOD PART OF THE SET. tHANK YOU AND bLESSINGS Lee in LA |

Re: Jewish Music for Yoga classes
Rebbe Soul has a lovely version of Maoz Tzur/Rock of Ages on his Change the World with a Sound album. I think it kinda sounds like Bruce Springsteen. http://rebbesoul.com/listen.html He also has a new album of just niggunim that would be good for yoga. Jewish "Kabbalah" music I've found online (you can hear samples of each): Allen Goldbert, Chasing Stray Flames Mostly piano, played like an ethereal choir. http://www.stillvoicemusic.com/music/ Andy Statman Quartet Quiet jazz ensemble playing Klezmer/Niggun http://www.amazon.com/Between-Heaven-Earth-Jewish-Mystics/dp/B000000E41/sr=8-1/qid=1163629536/ref=sr_1_1/103-4058259-5088638?ie=UTF8&s=music Techelet Ensemble Israeli-based, Middle Eastern sounding jazz ensemble. The guitarist is a Kabbalist and world expert on Sephardi Jewish music. http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/techelete2 Avivah |
